Edwards Benefit: In November, Cleveland Police Officer Justin Edwards was injured in a traffic accident while on the way to work. Cleveland PD Captain Scott Felts said because Officer Edwards was on the way to work and not officially on duty, the officer is not receiving worker’s compensation, and has a long road to recovery. The Cleveland Police Department along with a number of community members are rallying together to hold a benefit on Saturday, March 1, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Stancil Park in Cleveland. There will be BBQ plates for sale, a live auction, raffle, and more. For raffle tickets or to donate an auction item, call the Cleveland PD at (281) 592 2621.
